Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: Magic Friends at 39K against The Mind Controller's 366. Magic Friends also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). The Mind Controller's advantage is update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 5 months). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. The Mind Controller sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and Magic Friends sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Magic Friends holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Magic Friends has 39K ratings behind it against 366, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 74% of The Mind Controller's written reviews are positive against 71% of Magic Friends's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
The Mind Controller ships an update every 5 weeks, Magic Friends every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
